Abstract
In recent years, there have been major strides in the safety verification of machine learning models such as neural networks and tree ensembles. However, fuzzy decision trees (FDT), also called soft or differentiable decision trees, are yet unstudied in the context of verification. They present unique verification challenges resulting from multiplications of input values; in the simplest case with a piecewise-linear splitting function, an FDT is piecewise-polynomial with degree up to the depth of the tree. We propose an abstraction-refinement algorithm for verification of properties of FDTs. We show that the problem is NP-Complete, like many other machine learning verification problems, and that our algorithm is complete in a finite precision setting. We benchmark on a selection of public data sets against an off-the-shelf SMT solver and a baseline variation of our algorithm that uses a refinement strategy from similar methods for neural network verification, finding the proposed method to be the fastest. Code for our algorithm along with our experiments and demos are available on GitHub at <uri xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">https://github.com/autonlab/fdt_verification</uri> .
